Lung, 08/28/09
Caceres M et al. – Patients with blunt thoracic trauma had a lower sensitivity for CXR to discover pneumomediastinum, were more likely to develop subcutaneous emphysema or pneumothorax, and had lower mortality and length of hospital stay compared with those with barotrauma–induced pneumomediastinum. Barotrauma was an independent predictor for hospital mortality. Secondary pneumomediastinum is a morbid condition with distinctive etiologies, radiologic findings, and outcomes. Barotrauma–induced pneumomediastinum is associated with a prolonged recovery and high mortality rate.
